BARREL-amena Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 8, 1907.

Application filed August 12, 1907. Serial No. 388,176-

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that Il, SEGVART C. O. BERG, a citizen oi' the United States, residing at Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State ot Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Barrel- Rinsers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in barrelwashers; and it provides for the alternate discharge of hot and cold water into barrels for the purpose of washing or rinsing the same.

The invention consists of the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts hereinafter pointed out in the appended claims.

Referring now to the accompanying drawings which illustrate the invention: Figure 1 represents a vertical section oi the barrel-rinser on line I-l of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of same on line 11H11 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a cross section on line III-III of Fig. 1. 4 is a cross section on line lV--IV of Fig. 2.

l designates an outer shell provided with a pair or' supporting legs 2, a hot water inlet 3, a cold water inlet 4, a hot water outlet 5, and a cold water outlet 6, all oi which are arranged as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Said outer shell is open at its upper end to receive an inner shell 7 having a chamber S and a duct 9 communicating with said chamber. The inner shall 7 consists of a disk 10, a partition 11, a marginal flange 12, and a tubular extension 13. Disk l0 is seated upon packing 14 in the lower portion oi the outer shell. Flange 12 closes the' upper end of the outer shell to which it is secured by screws 15. Partition l1 divides the outer shell into chambers 16 17 communicating respectively With outlets 5 and 6.

18 designates a nozzle carried by extension 13 and adapted to be inserted through the bung-hole of the barrel.

19 designates a saddle rotatably mounted upon the extension 13 and a circular seat 20 which latter is integral with the upper portion ot ilange l2, said saddle being provided with a centrally-disposed hub 21 journaled upon extension 13 tor the purpose of holding the saddle in place. The sides of the saddle are closed to form a basin 22, having a port 23 adapted to alternately communicate with ports 24 25 extending through flange 12 and communicating, respectively, with chambers 16 and 17. Hub 21 is provided with a cam 26, which alternately depresses two valves 27 28 which normally close two lower ports 29 30 communicating, respectively, with inlets 3 and 4 and chamber 8.

The upper ends of the valve-stems are provided with bearings 3l in which are journaled antiiriction rollers 32, with which cam 26 alternately contacts, the rollers being prevented from turning at right angles to the cam by a pair of guides 33 depending from bearings 31 and,

slidably arranged in flange 12 and the upper Wall of Fig. I

pressing the valves to open the ports 29 and 30. When port 29 is opened hot water from inlet 3 will enter chamber 8 and passing upwardly through duct 9 and nozzle 18 will be discharged with considerable force into the barrel, until cam 26 passes out ot engagement with the antifriction roller of valve 27 and permits the same to close port 29. t

While the hot water is discharging into the barrel, port 23 is in coincidence with port 24 so that the water Aflowing from the barrel into the basin will pass through said ports into chamber 16 and thence out through the hot water outlet 5. As the barrel and the saddle continue to" rotate, cam 26 will contact with the antifrietion roller on valve 28 and depress the latter so that the cold water will pass up through port 30 into chamber 8 and thence through duct 9 and nozzle 18 to the barrel, at the same time port 23 is brought into coincidence with port 25 so that as the cold water discharges from the barrel into the basin, it will flow irom the latter through ports 23 and 25 into chamber 17 from which it escapes through the cold water outlet 6.

lFrom the above description it will be understood that the hot and cold water will be kept separated by partition 11 and through the alternate action of valves 27 28.

When the rinsers are connected in series, supply pipes are connected to both ends oi the inlets 3 and 4,

but when a single rinser is employed one end of each inlet is closed with a plug.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:

1. A barrel-rinser consisting of an outer shell having two separated inlets and two outlets, an inner shell separating the outlets'and provided with lower ports communicating with the inlets and upper ports communicating with the outlets, valves carried by the inner Ashell for normally closing the lower ports, a nozzle communicating with the inner shell, and a rotatable saddle adapted to alternately open the valves and provided with a port which alternately communicates with the upper ports of the inner casing.

2. A barrel-rinser consisting of an outer shell having,r two separated inlets and two outlets, an inner shell having two lower ports communicating with the inlets and upper ports communicating with the outlets, a transverse partition on the inner shell separating the outlets, valves carried by the inner shell for normally closing the lower ports, a nozzle communicating with the inner shell, and a rotatable saddle adapted to alternately open the valves and provided with a port which alternately communicates with the upper ports of the inner casing.

3. A barrel-rinser consisting of an outer shell having two separated inlets and two outlets, an inner shell separating the outlets and provided with lower ports communicating with the inlets and upper ports communicating with the outlets, self-closing valves carried by the inner shell for normally closing the lower ports, a nozzle communicatin.;r -with the inner shell, anda rotatable saddle adapted to alternately open the valves and provided with a port which alternately communicates with the upper ports of the inner casing.

4. A barrel-rinser consisting of an outer shell having separated inlets and outlets, an inner shell having lower ports communicating with the inlets and upper ports communicating with the outletsy valves carried by the inner shell for normally closing the lower portsy guides on said valves slidably arranged in the inner shell, a nozzle communicating with the inner shell, and a rotatable saddle on the inner shell having a cam which alternately opens the valves and a port which alternately communicates with the upper ports of the inner casing.

5. A barrel-rinser consisting of an outer shell having separated inlets and outlets, an inner shell having lower ports communicating with the inlets and upper ports coinmunicating with the outlets, valves carried by the inner shell for normally closing the lower ports, said valves being provided with antitriction rollers, a nozzle communicating with the inner shell, and a rotatable saddle on the inner shell having a cam which alternately contacts with the antifriction rollers, and a port which alternately communicates with the upper ports of the inner casina', said saddle having a basin communicating with its ports.

G. A barrel-rinser consisting of an outer shell having' two separated inlets and two outlets, an inner shell separating the outlets and provided with lower pel-ts communicating,r with the inlets and upper ports eommunieatin.;r with the outlets, said inner shell being also provided with a tubular extension and a circular seat, valves carried by the inner shell for normally closing the lower ports, a nozzle communicating with the tubular extension, and a rotatable saddle adapted to alternately open the valves and provided with a port which alternatelyv communicates with the upper ports of the inner easing.

In testimony whereof I allix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses. Y
